耶穌的名 (7)
聖經閱讀：馬太福音1:1-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年12月7日(日)

今天的經文包含了一份耶穌在世上的家譜名冊，第1節說：「耶穌的家譜如下：耶穌基督是大衛的後代，大衛是亞伯拉罕的後代。」在新約聖經裡，有很多次耶穌被稱為「大衛之子」。 　在耶穌被殺的一個星期前，祂進到耶路撒冷城，人們像國王一樣對待耶穌。在馬太福音21:9b我們讀到：「人群大聲呼喊：『頌讚歸於大衛之子！願上帝賜福給奉主名來的那位！頌讚歸於至高的上帝！』」 　知道耶穌出生在大衛家族裡對猶太人來說是很重要的。在很多年前，上帝告訴猶太人祂會差派祂的兒子來到世上，上帝說祂的兒子會從大衛家族中誕生，上帝說這事會成就，它就成就了！ 　我們應該記住上帝永遠會持守祂的應許，上帝已經應許基督徒會永遠與祂同住，上帝說這事會成就，它就會成就！ －JK 「群眾都很驚奇，說：『難道他就是那大衛之子嗎？』」 馬太福音12:23 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢永遠持守祢的應許。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Jesus' Names (7)
Bible Reading: Matthew 1:1-17
Sunday, December 7, 2014

Our Bible verses today contain a list of Jesus' earthly family line. Verse 1 says, “This is the family history of Jesus the Messiah. He came from the family of David, who was from the family of Abraham.” Many times in the New Testament Jesus is called “Son of David.” 　A week before Jesus was killed, He came into the city of Jerusalem. The people treated Jesus like He was a king. In Matthew 21:9b we read, “They all shouted, ‘Praise to the Son of David! Welcome! God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'” 　It was very important for the Jewish people to know that Jesus was born into David's family. Many years before, God told the Jews He would send His Son into the world. God said His Son would be born from David's family line. God said it would happen, and it happened! 　We should remember that God always keeps His promises. God has promised that Christians will live forever with Him. God has said this will happen, and it will happen! —JK “All the people were amazed at what Jesus did. They said, ‘Maybe he is the promised Son of David!'” Matthew 12:23 PRAYER: God, thank You for always keeping Your promises. In Jesus' name. Amen.
